Description
Llandinam Presbyterian Church, built in a late French Gothic style, features rockfaced stone with limestone ashlar dressings, a slate roof, and clayware crestings. The west front showcases four grouped lancets with moulded heads and columns, along with a circular window above that has radial tracery. An arcaded string course runs below the windows, connecting corner buttresses that end in small pyramidal spires. Below the string course are four quatrefoil windows, while the nave windows have been altered. The lower transepts display elaborate dentilled cornices and triple lancets in the gables, which contain intricate leaded glass. The school section has various stone-dressed windows, including one blind window on the south, a four-light window on the north, and shouldered headed lights on the east.
The main entrance to the church features a moulded arch supported by shafted columns with stiff-leaf capitals, and a floriated cross in the tympanum, all within a gabled porch. Inside, the nave consists of three bays with a timber boarded roof supported by two moulded timber arches resting on stilted wall stiff-leaf corbels. Moulded stone arches with large fleurons lead to the side transepts. The walls are plastered, and there are arches above the low west windows. The seating includes three banks of raked pews divided by two aisles. Above the pulpit, there is a decorative arch featuring blind 8-lobed wheel tracery and diapered tilework on the chamfered sill. The pulpit itself is made of varnished pine, with canted panels and a dog-tooth cornice, supported by iron handrail supports over four curved steps. The varnished pine pews include brass umbrella keeps and a front book desk with perforated roundels. The organ, made by P. Conacher of Huddersfield, is located in the south transept and features coloured and gilded pipes on a coved gallery, adorned with openwork timber pendants.
The enclosing front wall has cast iron railings that incorporate a cross symbol, set on a chamfered stone wall with ashlar terminal and gate piers. The piers have a two-stage chamfered top and an iron lantern that lights the approach path.
